How long until there is an entire genre of comics that consist of ‘political satire comic with pink-haired girl protaganist’?

I read both Sore Thumbs and Winger, despite the fact that they sometimes go a bit too far on their political tirades for my own personal taste. They both have a lot going for them outside of their political teasings, and both deliver good humor and art.

I’m not entirely positive as to exactly which direction he’s trying to take – whether he is trying to be a drama making fun of its own lightheartedness, or trying to be a funny strip making fun of its attempts to add psycho-drama, or just making fun of the whole shebang.

Regardless, I’m liking it, and it does a good job of making both perspectives work.

Oh, and I’ll admit it – the “Cheney Shot First” shirt made me laugh. Yes, in fact, “out loud,” as the kids say.

It has always been one of those strips that there are certainly times I wondered why I read it (in large part cause I could take or leave the political satire strips), but there has been some stuff of late that I’ve been digging.
